Do longer finger nails make pizz. sound different?

[Tomas Bouda]

i'm still not sure about finger re-enforcement. i mean, pizz should be played more with the entire finger - not just the tip. that's how ray brown got his massive sound out. finger tips are too weak on their own and i don't think that any nail length will fix that problem. still, its my opinion that fingernails of all lengths get in the way. i keep mine as short as possible at all times!
